Beef Rendang
Rendang is a dish which originated from the
Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia and is now commonly served across the
country. One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served
at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests. Also popular in Malaysia and
Singapore, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Malay community during
festive occasions.
Rendang is made from beef (or occasionally
chicken, mutton, water buffalo, duck, or vegetables like jackfruit or cassava)
slowly cooked in coconut milk and spices for several hours until almost all the
liquid is gone, allowing the meat to absorb the spicy condiments. The cooking
process changes from boiling to frying as the liquid evaporates. The slow
cooking process allows the meat to absorb all the spices and to become tender.
The spices may include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaf, lemon grass and
chillies. Chicken or duck rendang also contains tamarind and is usually not
cooked for as long as beef rendang.
